Air Fryer Soft Pretzels

Ingredients:

- 1 1/2 cups warm water

- 1 packet active dry yeast

- 1 tbsp sugar

- 4 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1/4 cup baking soda

- 1 egg, beaten

- Coarse salt, for sprinkling

- Melted butter, for brushing

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

2. In a separate bowl, mix together flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.

4. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).

5. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into a pretzel shape.

6. In a shallow bowl, dissolve baking soda in warm water. Dip each pretzel into the baking soda solution, then place them in the air fryer basket.

7. Brush each pretzel with beaten egg, sprinkle with coarse salt, and air fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

8. Once cooked, brush the pretzels with melted butter before serving.
